Ok girls, I have a question. I have several new followers on my blog and cannot tell how to find their blog to go and visit. So can someone tell me how I find their blogs? I have found several and love the blogs and would like to visit each and everyone of them. But some of them do not have links to their blogs in their info. Thanks for any help.

Also, I had promised to post a new recipe once a month last year and I have been very neglegent on this. I do apologize. But I have posted 2 new recipes on my recipe page. The link is on the right hand side. Feel free to print these recipes off and use them. The hot chocolate is soooo good on these cold nights. And the peanut butter cookies are awesome. I love eating the cookies with the hot chocolate.YUM YUM.Until next time...

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day today. I meant to post earlier but for those of you who don't know, today is also my birthday. So my darling husband and family took me out to my favorite restaurant to eat dinner. We went to Texas Roadhouse because not only do they cook their steaks the way you order, they also have the best loaded sweet potato in town. So I had fun today with my family and then came home and took a nap.So I hope it is not to late to say HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!Until next time...

Well it came today and it is just AWESOME!!! I couldn't wait to share pics with you.

Here's the first. I took it up close so you could get a better idea of what it looks like.

Isn't that adorable?

A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to Nancy fromStitches n Strokes and Vicky from Olde Homestead barn and asked them what could you put in a small chair other than dolls. Well they gave me some really good ideas. So guess where this little lamp is going! In a chair on my fireplace in my living room. I just love the way it looks in the chair. I took a pic of it with the lamp on and with it off. See what you think.

About Me

I have been married to my wonderful husband for 40 years. We have 2 girls and 6 grandkids and 3 extended grandkids (2 nieces and 1 nephew). I love spending time with my family, sewing, woodcrafting, cooking, gardening and anything crafty. I have crafted for over 30 years doing everything from making dolls. macrame to cross stitching and have now developed a special love for primitive crafts. I enjoy making these crafts and thinking how it must have been in prairie days without all the luxuries that we have. So sit back and relax and enjoy my blog.

A Word of Thanks

First, I would like to say that I am computer illiterate and without the help of a few good friends, I would not have been able to have this blog.I would like to thank Sage of Sagewood Farms for the many hours she spent teaching me how to open a blog.I would also like to thank Brenda from Hattie's Workshop for the awesome banner that she made me.I am grateful to Judy of Primfolks by Judy, Susan from Threadbare Primitives and Donna from Moonchild's Primitives for giving me permission to use the products that I have made from their patterns to display in my banner.And lastly, I would like to thank all my friends from Prim Sister's Talk Radio Gathering Room who have had the patience to teach me what all the computer language means and for giving me ideas on primitive creating.I have found that there are so many people in the primitive community that are willing to help beginners get started and for that I am very grateful. Thanks everone!
